CLN should have everything needed for this: https://lightning.readthedocs.io/PLUGINS.html#json-rpc-passthrough I don't have the time to work on this, but I know several people asking for ThunderHub support for CLN, so there's definitely demand for this feature.

@cryptoquick CLN also supports gRPC since recently, making it even easier.

It would be so nice if ThunderHub supported CLN (just like its competitor RTL already does).

But ThunderHub uses the ln-service library which needs to support it first, and the creator of that library (Alex) works for Lightning Labs. So I guess he has no incentive to spend time adding CLN to it because of that reason.

[cryptoquick]

Yeah, the new Rust RPC is really cool to see. One thing I've been noticing, Lightning Labs is really toxic to the broader Lightning community, so maybe it's hopeless to ask for CLN support. Similarly, who knows if they'll support BOLT-12 in LND, considering it competes with the Pool business model.

[kroese]

Yes there might be a conflict of interest, but he said that when he originally created the ln-service library, it's goal was to support multiple implementations.

So I am sure that if somebody else would write the code and creates a pull request, he would happily accept it.
